Canada has closed its embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, until further notice because of riots and protests there following the release of the first round of presidential election results.
The foreign affairs department says there will be no interruption of consular services due to the closure.

The embassy can be contacted via e-mail at prnce@international.gc.ca and Canadians in need of urgent assistance should call 613-996-8885
